Teri reached her doctor's office. She couldn't bring the gun inside. Even if she kept it in her purse, there was no guarantee that someone wouldn't see it during her exam. Maybe some child who wanted to play with it. Teri wished Jack was here right now, to hold her hand. She called him. Jack ws perched on a building, ready to take out Hellar with a sniper rifle, he would be here soon. Jack heard his phone ring, and let it go to voicemail.

.

Teri: Jack, it's Teri. I know you can't talk about exactly what you're doing. But I'm scared. I want you here, with me, raising this child. After everything that's happenned, we deserve a fresh start. Please Jack, come home.

.

Teri's words had an impact on Jack. Hellar had to be stopped, he couldn't be allowed to remain president, not for one more day. But Jack still had some hope of going home again. Jack saw Hellar's helicopter arrive, he took aim. Killing his president did not come easy to a patriot like Jack Bauer. But then Hellar was only president because he murdered president Bartlett. So many lives taken by this man. Many more lives, both American and Qumari, still on the line. But then Jack saw something that made him put down his rifle, Josiah Bartlett, alive. As Bartlett walked towards the podium Hellar seemed shocked. Aron Pierce seemed to be motioning for Hellar to join him and Bartlett in a secure building.

.

Hellar: Mr president, it's a great relief to see you alive.

Bartlett; Save it Jim. I know you're the mastermind behind these attacks. Renee Walker couldn't bring herself to murder me and my family. I offerred her a full pardon for her help, but she put a gn in her mouth and pulled the trigger. I guess she couldn't live with the disgrace of what she'd done. I've already recalled the bombers. Your man Chapelle will face justice in a qumari prison for his crimes.

Hellar: You can't let an American president be incarcerated in a hostile nation.

Barltett: Perhaps not. I might not even be able to incarcerate you here in America. But you will never be president again. Agent Pierce will take you into custody for now, we'll decide what to do with you later. Personally, I'm hoping you follow Renee Walker's example.
